Jane Goodall Revealed Aspiration to Launch Trump and Musk on One-Way Trip to Space

After devoting her life observing chimpanzee conduct, Jane Goodall became a specialist on the combative nature of dominant males. In a newly published interview recorded shortly before her passing, the celebrated primatologist revealed her unusual solution for addressing certain individuals she viewed as exhibiting similar qualities: launching them on a non-return journey into space.

Posthumous Film Reveals Candid Thoughts

This remarkable insight into Goodall's thinking emerges from the Netflix production "Famous Last Words", which was filmed in March and preserved secret until after her recently announced demise at 91 years old.

"I've encountered individuals I dislike, and I want to send them on a spacecraft and launch them to the world he's sure he's going to discover," commented Goodall during her discussion with her interlocutor.

Specific Individuals Identified

When questioned whether Elon Musk, famous for his questionable behavior and associations, would be part of this group, Goodall responded with certainty.

"Yes, definitely. He'd be the leader. You can imagine whom I would include on that spaceship. Along with Musk would be Trump and several of Trump's loyal adherents," she announced.

"And then I would put the Russian president on board, and I would place Xi Jinping. I'd certainly put Israel's prime minister in there and his political allies. Send them all on that spaceship and launch them."

Earlier Comments

This was not the first time that Goodall, a supporter of ecological preservation, had voiced concerns about Donald Trump in particular.

In a 2022 interview, she had observed that he displayed "the same sort of behavior as a dominant primate demonstrates when he's competing for supremacy with a rival. They stand tall, they swagger, they project themselves as significantly bigger and combative than they truly are in order to frighten their competitors."

Leadership Styles

During her last recorded conversation, Goodall further explained her comprehension of alpha personalities.

"We get, interestingly, two kinds of dominant individual. One type succeeds all by aggression, and since they're powerful and they battle, they don't endure very long. Others do it by utilizing strategy, like an aspiring leader will only challenge a more dominant one if his friend, typically a relative, is alongside him. And you know, they endure much, much longer," she detailed.

Social Interactions

The famous researcher also examined the "political aspect" of behavior, and what her extensive studies had revealed to her about combative conduct shown by human communities and primates when encountering something they viewed as hostile, although no risk really was present.

"Chimpanzees encounter an unfamiliar individual from a neighboring community, and they get all excited, and the hair stands out, and they extend and make physical contact, and they display visages of anger and fear, and it transmits, and the remaining members adopt that emotion that this one male has had, and everyone turns combative," she explained.

"It spreads rapidly," she noted. "Various exhibitions that grow violent, it sweeps through them. Each member wishes to become and join in and become aggressive. They're protecting their area or competing for supremacy."

Human Parallels

When inquired if she considered the same dynamics were present in people, Goodall responded: "Probably, on occasion. But I truly believe that the bulk of humanity are decent."

"My main objective is educating the upcoming generation of compassionate citizens, roots and shoots. But are we allowing enough time? I'm uncertain. These are difficult times."

Historical Comparison

Goodall, originally from London shortly before the beginning of the Second World War, likened the fight against the difficulties of contemporary politics to England opposing German forces, and the "spirit of obstinance" displayed by Winston Churchill.

"This doesn't imply you don't have times of despair, but subsequently you recover and declare, 'Well, I refuse to permit their victory'," she commented.

"It's similar to the leader throughout the battle, his renowned address, we will oppose them on the beaches, we will resist them along the roads and urban areas, subsequently he remarked to a companion and was heard to say, 'and we'll fight them at the ends of damaged containers since that's everything we've bloody well got'."

Closing Thoughts

In her last message, Goodall shared inspiring thoughts for those fighting against authoritarian control and the ecological disaster.

"Even today, when the world is difficult, there still is possibility. Don't lose hope. Should optimism fade, you turn into apathetic and take no action," she advised.

"Whenever you desire to save what is still beautiful on our planet – if you want to preserve Earth for the future generations, future family, their offspring – then think about the decisions you implement every day. Since, expanded a million, multiple occasions, even small actions will make for substantial improvement."
